Father Speaks Before The Holy Wine Ceremony - Original Document

Father will talk to you briefly about blessing. God’s work of the dispensation has been just to restore one Adam. Then, after Adam, to recreate Eve and after that to recreate the family. So far, mankind has been talking about, coveting, waiting for the Messiah. What is this Messiah? Messiah is in the perfected Adam’s position. What then is Adam’s position? Adam’s position was the real ancestral position. Adam is in the true ancestral or parental position. In other words, he is the centre of love among all mankind. The centre of love by whom? that is of course by God. Adam is in the central position of love by God towards all mankind. When is God’s love going to be perfected? When is God’s love going to settle down among men? When we raise this question to religious people, they are utterly answerless. Many philosophers never thought like that about God’s love or his perfection. Then when is God’s love perfected? That will be when Adam and Eve grow up and attain perfection and when they start loving each other on a horizontal level - that’s the time of the perfection of God’s love.

How strong is that love between Adam and Eve? It is so strong that they cannot help themselves, they cannot ever separate themselves, it is so strong: they cannot do anything about it. The moment when this strong horizontal love and on top of that, the strong vertical love, are consummated, that is the moment of perfection of God’s love.

So between plus and minus, subject and object, there will be a magnetic field: from one extreme to another extreme, a magnetic field is formed. This magnetic field will become stronger and stronger until it becomes a perfect circle. As it becomes a perfect circle, it draws each pole more and more strongly together so that nobody can separate them. So the circuit, the magnetic field is completed and from that very moment the vertical power will descend and as it is on the verge of sparking, on completion of the circuit, tremendous elec- tricity will come into that spark and the vertical power will consummate, will connect and when the perfect spark sparks off then there will be thunder in the universe and all the electric power will be discharged right at that moment. Then, in that love, God will descend and penetrate into man and will dwell in man right at that moment.

After that, God might ascend, but since a bag of love is like rubber, it stretches and never comes away; it is always connected. Centring around that magnetic field, the field of God’s love is formed on top of the horizontal magne t field. That enormous magnetic field is everywhere. Static discharge ,:,aybe hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of volts and as soon as it discharges it, it cultivates contacts on earth. No matter how much electricity there is, it is all discharged in a matter of seconds. So when that tremendous magnetic field of God’s love is there, when God is experiencing love , then all created beings are trying to swim or are trying to help towards God’s love; everyone is in ecstasy, you might say. It’s just like one big factory, when the main engine or the main axle shaft turns, then every gear and every small shaft connected to that start turning all at once. It’s the same thing. When God’ s love fills the earth and the universe, then every creation will start to move - the birds will sing, the dogs will wag their tails and the birds wave their tails {Father says: ‘in some places they have a tail, a love tail’), so all things are invisibly connected, eventually, through love with God, ju s t like a whole machine in operation, the universe is in operation.

When the male and female animals become one in love, at that very moment a similar spark will arise and then tremendous power will come across and again it adds to the excitement and that is everywhere. That love fills the earth. So when everything finds itself in the bag of God’s love, every- body is happy, everybody is smiling, in love; everyone wants to be generous J and wants to give everything back to love.

You have never seen each other before and now you are engaged. You are total strangers but when your naked hand touches your spouses hand, you don’t dislike that, do you? When your hand touches the side of your spouse, somehow you get an electric sensation, don’t you? Or do you? One thing you didn’t know was that when you get that sensation God responds with that much sensation, you didn’t know that, mankind didn’t know that. Do you understand? So once we get tied to God’s love, absolutely nobody can separate us from God’s love. So many men of literature and many, many poets sang out their love, but they stopped right there, they didn’t know what it was about. They experienced what they thought was tremendous love, but they never experienced and never even thought that God’s love is the real one which comes at that moment to consummate. In order to get God’s love, man cherished horizontal love so much. They didn’t know that; they just wanted love without a purpose. So when Adam and Eve are perfect and have that love, then God’s love will come down and will be eternally connected and after that, God and Adam and Eve will never be separated. They may go very far apart, but the stretch of elastic is still connecting them. If God pulls, then they come close to each other. Love is like the most elastic rubber; no matter how far you stretch it, it never cuts off; it stretches indefinitely. The further you pull it away, the more powerful it pulls, that’s God’s love. But instead, you choose not to pull and stretch it, instead you want to wrap it around everything so that everything comes close to each other - that’s the way love is. If you stretch that enormous field of love, everybody is happy, every creation will dance because of the happiness there but if you want to press that together, every- thing will be really excited, they don’t know what to do because they are pressed in love in other words. You can imagine that kind of sensation. Every- thing is melting away now, so all man has to do is just get hold of the woman strongly and never separate. They get together and go around because that’s the way that love focusses. God is attached there, everything that you care for is attached there, nothing is separate from you and God’s love. So then a perfect couple, when they breathe out, then all things will breathe in air. And when they breathe in, all things will breathe out, so they respond to each other and harmonise with each other, all creation harmonises with each other and so this love stretches and focusses; God goes high, comes down low, this happens in every direction. You like the ride in the playground, don’t you? And it goes swinging, and goes low and goes high and it goes up and down, up and down. Love can be very much compared to that. So when you ride on that rythm, would you like to ride on the rythm with your wife or with your husband, would you like to do that?

What is the purpose of creation? If Adam and Eve hadn’t fallen, this would have been on the earth in the very first place, thousands of years ago, but that failed, so God’s love did not reach completion on earth, so God suffers and agonises and he wanted to bring that at Jesus’ time. Jesus knew that he was Messiah, perfected Adam and should take perfected Eve and realise this, but it failed - Jesus didn’t do that, so God continues until the last day, when the real Messiah comes, until the time of the second advent. The second advent is true Adam and Eve’s position.

Look at the millions of Christians today who believe in wrong things. They say the Messiah will come on the clouds, but if he comes on the clouds, then will this be realised on earth? Of course not. Adam and Eve must have isflesh, just like you and I and everybody else. So one way of looking at why the Messiah must come in the flesh is to accomplish the magnetic field of love, and to complete God’s love we need a body. So the Messiah, since he comes in the original Adam and Eve position has to have a body. You like Father very much don’t you? Do you really mean that? Well, we only met yesterday. How did you develop that love so quickly

Just imagine you met your fiance just today or yesterday. Already you have quite a love for each other, because you’re horizontal, but Father is also a great bringer of love in a vertical way, that’s why even though you met Father only yesterday, you feel love because that brings forth the vertical tie of love. Even if Parent strikes this brother on the head, he laughs and he is happy but if his brand new fiancee strikes him by mistake, then he will make a face. Why? Because men know, they all know, the vertical thing is more precious. That comes first. And the horizontal relationship only comes second. Which do you like most? Horizontal or vertical love? (Vertical!) So if you have two kinds of love, the vertical love is more important. Let’s say you have very much of a real horizontal love, but unless you have vertical love, hori- zontal love is no good. Why is vertical love better? Because vertical love has only one element, one seed, it is always the same, it is unique, it has only one axis. Horizontal love can be varied, it goes in all different directions, in 360 degrees; there are many different kinds of horizontal love. But the axis of love is only one, which everybody shares. That axis of love runs from one pole to another pole and that one pole is God and the other pole is Adam and Eve. They turn around 360 degrees, that is perfection of God’s c~ love, 360 degrees, all around love. That way all love is perfected. Do you i follow? So when you love, you must keep in mind, you must have this axis very intent and you must be connected right through this axis and then love. If you don’t connect to the axis, but you love only with horizontal love, that love may become strong with someone but will have no direction. It will be hauled out, collide, put into pieces, valueless, you will even hurt yourself, do you understand? So, today, what mankind doesn’t know is that he needs this axis of love. He doesn’t even know there is such a thing as an axis of love. So between each pole there is an axis of strong love turning and all around is the loving magnetic field which is where we belong. The moment we push our- selves into that magnetic field, then it automatically draws people to each other instead of repelling them and then you are like a drunk, intoxicated with love.

You may have experienced being drunk by alcohol, or by opium, but being drunk in love is stronger, much stronger. Don’t you want to be drunk, intoxi- cated? The only way that we experience this intoxication is by getting in the magnetic field of God’s love. So with this love, when a child is conceived he is really fully cooked in the oven of love and when he comes out - when he is born - he is a beautiful child and he has no sin,and no pride. The only thing he has pride in is in God’s love, nothing else, no impure element. The children who are born of parents of this intense love also have the love that their parents have so therefore the parents and the children are equal - they are on God’s level. So you wait and see when your child is born, whether it is a boy or a girl it doesn’t make any difference. Every day, a few times a day, your child will empty his bowels, but you won’t think it is dir’ty, you will dip our fingers in it, you almost lick it, it doesn’t matter. You don’t feel it is dirty. This is all true, but Father is not going to explain this all evening because Father can go on and on and never end. That world is there, but

remember just one thing, Father doesn’t have to explain for many, many hours, now you know there is such a thing as God’s world of love. If you know there is such a thing, one day you will go there, there is no question about that, so Father wants you to remember, there is God’s world of love. So far you never knew about that but from now on you know. You just think that you are connected to God’s immense world of immense love. Maybe some man is connected only by his hair, by one strand of his hair only, but still he is connected. Some man is perhaps connected to God’s love’s shirt, he is holding his shirt with two fingers, he has just that much attachment.

So we see that, even on a horizontal level. We can see that with ex- Church members. Sometimes with Church members our work becomes too difficult so some Church members say oh, this is good, but I am too weak, so they drop away, but they can never forget the experience they had in the Unification Church. So even though they are drop outs, they cannot make new friends. Two drop-outs would become friends with each other because they are the best they can find in the outside world. So every time they go they talk about their own experiences withFather - dropped out Moonies do that. They criti- cise their leader, but how miserable that is! It’s just like a good husband and wife have a big fight and they divorce. After they divorce, they talk about ‘my ex-husband’ or ‘my ex- wife’ - ‘how wonderful he was’. They talk about him so much that they start crying because they miss him. How miserable this is. This is typical of the life of an ex-husband or wife. So we know that even though we are touched little by little with God’s love, we can never forget it. The privilege you are receiving from Father is that you are going to be born as children. You are participants of parental love. True Parents loved each other and thereby you came to be born. Without that we would never be born. You must remember that God signs, True Parents and Satan also signs about your engagement. If you do something wrong, Satan will kick you and if you do something wrong in God’s view, then God will punish you too. True Parents will also kick you, or punish you. Satan also has a privilege. He can pull you in the wrong direction. He has that privilege but True Parents have the privilege to prevent that from Satan and God has the privilege to be the judge over who is right. Is Satan right, or are True Parents right? God has that right to judge, so all three of them have some kind of right. Do you understand?

You must always remember that in front of you, Parents love is always guiding you, but right behind you, on your back, Satan’s hatred is following you. First, God’s love gets the better of Satan, then you lean forward, later Satan pulls you back so you swing back and forth, back and forth, but if you become like that then you are dead, so don’t wobble, don’t lose your footing, keep both your feet on the ground, even though you may f all down, so long as you have your feet on the ground, then you can get up again. Do you understand? Then after those three signatures, God’s signature, Parents’ signature and Satan’s signature, you too will have come to an agreement, we will for the rest of our life abide by this law, we will be one with God and True Parents. You say ‘I would go along with God’s judgement - God knows what is wrong and what is right in me - I will accept that’. Also you receive Parents guidance, so right behind you, what follows you? (Satan!) In front who guides you? (Parents!) Above, who is above you? (God!) He is the judge of whether you have done right or done wrong. So you must accept God’s judgement. So you will make a contract, we will live by that law - the law of God, the law of Parents and if Satan accuses me, you will say ‘Ok, I’ll accept that too’.

So you two make a contract that you will never separate from each other for the rest of your lives until eternity. Will you sign this today?

So don’t you want to do away with Satan? The only way to do away with Satan is to have our own country, then we can chase Satan out. Unless we have our own country then Satan is always behind our backs. What is our country? What country, in other words, is Adam’s country? That country is not in the spirit world, it is on this very earth - the Garden of Eden is originally our Parents country. It is Adam’s country here on earth; we also call it our Fatherland, our mother country, it is all the same. Do you have your Father- land? No! Not yet! But the fatherland is about to be born now. One foot is out of the mother’s womb now, one foot of Father’s country has been born. What are you all in Father’s land? Who is living in Father’s land? Who are the subjects of Father’s land. Adam’s tribe and his subjects live in Father’s land. What kind of culture will there be? Will there be German culture? No! There will be Adam’s culture. No other culture, only Adam’s culture in Father’s land. What is Adam’s culture? Love of God culture is Adam’s culture. What is love of God culture? Adam’s culture is love everybody and everything, so each one will know, each must learn the love of God, but how do we learn? You are learning from your husband, husband learns from his wife, when you have children, you will learn God’s love through your children. You are going to school in other words in the family. So now you know what the family is - it is the place where you learn God’s love. Once we learn that, what should we do? We deploy this horizontally to the ends of the earth, this is our life- time work to teach other people to spread this Adam culture to the end of the world. This is what we are going to do. When you see a nice big tree, oh, you will say, God created that tree to make sure of Adam and Eve’s love, Parents love - God really created this tree for my purpose. Amen. We have to appreciate that. So you can hear God’s voice saying thank you my son, thank you Rev. Moon. Do you understand?

So why are you two engaged? Why are you going to make your family? You must know that it is not to love your family that you are matched, but you are going to love the world. But how do you learn to love the world? Through your family. Your family is like a text book. In your family you learn how to love other people. In the outside world, they don’t think in this way. In French and German culture, people don’t think that way. They think, I love my family and that’s it, I don’t care about Germany, I don’t care about the world, I don’t care about Italy, I love my family. Other cultures are like this, but in Adam’s culture we love all men. Do you follow? When you look around the world, you not only have your own sons and daughters but there are many sons and daughters of other people. How are we going to love them? We go ahead and love them first, then we come back and love our own sons and daughters and then we love all people again. Do you understand? So you are about to love your fiance, or your husband, or your wife, but if you want to love that much, first you must love other people that much. You have to always keep that balance and deepen your love. If you don’t do that, if you only love your husband or love your wife, then people will blame you, Satan will blame you. He will say, you got God’s blessing, but why do you love your own family only? God’s love is to the world, isn’t it? So why do you love your own family? When Satan says that, how can you answer? there is no answer, you are to blame. But you don’t want to be blamed by Satan and be loved, so that’s why you must go out. But if you love other people more than your wife and more than your own children, then Satan cannot blame you, even if you love your family deeply.

Where is Satan? Satan is right behind you all the time, isn’t he? But if you love other people, then Satan is pushed back further and further. The ones I loved very much, they will gather round me and stand behind me and then Satan cannot stand there. So if you have one or two layers of loved ones, then Satan is pushed further and further away, and you become safer and safer, so by doing this, you are building a fence and by the time you love your family nobody will be able to invade you, because the people you loved are already standing around you and protecting you and Satan cannot come through that fence. If you have layer and layer and if Father has his own country as well where we live, then we don’t even have to love other people; then we can really love our family alone and everybody will love his own family, so there will be no question, no problem. Nobody will blame anyone else. But only at that time. Do you understand? Do you understand what a family does? Now do you under- stand a little bit of why religious people try to love other people all the time?

Also Jesus said ‘love thine enemy’. Why did Jesus say that? He saw that if you love your enemy, that enemy will become your friend and then he would turn around and stay with you and push Satan back. To protect you Jesus taught you, love your enemy and all religious people love other people more than them- selves and their families. Do you understand? So, Unification Church members must be afraid of one thing - if someone says don’t witness, don’t you go out and witness, that’s a very fearful thing. You must be afraid of that. If you don’t witness, then you have no fence around you to protect you, so how fear- ful it is. So the one who is not willing to love Cain, actually, what he is saying is - I am going to stay in the satanic world for ever. It’s the same thing. Do you understand? So, once you are blessed, once you are engaged, then the conclusion is, you must go out and love other people more than you would love your own family. After you have really loved them, then come back and love your family. In that order - first, second. This is what Father instructed we should all carry out once we are engaged or married. For three years, we don’t even communicate with each other, we don’t even write a letter, we don’t even ‘phone but w.e live from love of other people, unconnected people, not so much from our wives, or fiance, so for three years you build a fence around yourself, then come back and without Satan’s accusation you can love your fiance for the first time. Do you want that? Do you want that or don’t you want that? You want to love your family don’t you? (Yes!) So when you love other people, you don’t have to love your own children even, the others will come around and they will take care of your children, then the children in Cain position and the children in Abel position will be completely united.

Because of the fall, Adam separated from Eve and Cain separated from Abel. In all four directions the parents and children are all separated, the children are separate from each other, the parents are separated from each other, everybody is separated, but if you love Cain, then Cain will become one with Abel and you are the centre of that then the four, Adam and the two brothers will come back and unite again with love so that God can come down and we can go to Heaven, and we will live in God’s country, under God’s dominion. Do you under- stand? So in restoring, all four separate entities will be brought together and all will be brought forward into God’s realm; everything will be moved to God’s new area and only Satan will be chased away to go to where he belongs. Do you understand? And that’s a formula • Father just gave you the example of the individual, four different persons separated, Adam and Eve and Cain and Abel. If they come together on the family level, the country level works in the same way and also in a big communistic world and in a democratic world. You

will be the centre and will harmonise them, then you, as Father’s couple and the communist regime and the democratic regime all four, will unite together and then God can protect them - it belongs to God. This same formula works very perfectly and simply on all different levels.

We have True Parents tree. True Parents tree lives in this protected area of God’s love, within these four positions which is God’s loving place. True Parents tree is living centred on God’s love, within the four positions. Do you know what that is? The democratic world is in Cain position, the religious world is Abel’s position, when those two become united as one, obviously True Parents can stand on that base and make a four position loving place, a place that God connects with love.

You go into every situation in a practical manner. Now two men fight, you see, they both say they are right, and they fight each other. You must make a decision as to who is right. Well, it’s very simple, you have to see who works for his own sake, that’s Cain, and the one who works for everybody’s sake, that’s Abel. Abel is not so popular, but you take Abel’s side, that’s what you must do. Abel will always win in the end and then you will win with him. You should not take Cain’s side. When you become one with Abel, then you can meet Heaven on earth - that’s why you stay on the Abel’s side.

Father gave a brief talk outside when you were making ready for the ceremony and Father can repeat that and it’s very simple too. Let’s say we want to really love Germany, for Germany’s sake and for the sake of many people, then the German people who love Germany are in the Cain position, but the Church is in Abel’s position. If we, Church members, in other words, love Germany more than the outside German people themselves love Germany, then we are on the country level; we are in Abel’s position. Again, on a church level, there are many Christian churches here too. Unification Church members are also religious people and if we Unification Church members love Germany more than Catholics and Protestants love Germany, then we stand in the Abel position in the religious world and the Catholics are in the Cain position in the religious world. So, when we stand in Abel’s position both internally and externally (internal is religion, external is love of the country - Germany) and since we both, Cain and Abel, stay together in harmony, then automatically God can approve of us and can approve of this country and God can protect Germany. Do you understand? So Germany will not perish. If we love our country, if our Church loves Germany more than anybody else, then other people don’t have to love Germany. All it needs is two more persons, True Parents who are there and then all four positions are there, then whether other people care about Germany or not, God can give love to Germany and Germany will become prosperous. Other people won’t know why Germany is becoming prosperous, but it’s OK. Do you understand?

So Father will give you a very clear example. In Korea for instance, Father and all Unification Church members love Korea more than anybody else, more than government people, more than patriotic organisations, more than the national people. Our Church members and Father really love Korea. Now everybody knows that, so we are in Abel’s position. Also, Unification Church prayed more about Korea. Catholics and other Protestant churches, they prayed for themselves, oh give blessing to my church, give blessing to my nation, but Unification Church members always said ‘I will sacrifice but give Korea the blessing’. So Father and the Unification Church always stood on the Abel’s position in the religious world. So in Korea, that external and internal Cain and Abel position is united. We are one and the same so naturally we are united, so on that foun- dation True Parents make a four position foundation then God will automatically protect Korea. Communists can never touch any finger on Korea. The army doesn’t have to be there - God will protect it. In America too. We are maybe like immigrants. Father is not even American, but Father has a right to love

America more than anyone else. He has a right to sacrifice. Why did Father love America? Because America is not just one country. It is a representative country of all democratic countries of the world. That is why Father chose America and Father really loved America. America is represented by all European components. European people - German, Irish, French, Spanish they all went to America and built one country, so they represent all European components, so they are in Abel’s position to Cainistic Europeans, so Father chose that country and he loved America more than Americans loved America.

Also, American churches don’t work so hard, every Sunday there are only five or ten people worshipping. In Unification Church, from 4 o’clock in the morning until 12 o’clock in the evening they sacrifice, they even die, they really work hard for the sake of America and God, so they are religiously in Abel’s position. So, from the religious point of view, which is an internal point of view, Father and the Unification Church was quite Abel. From an external point of view - loving the countryside in other words, it was also Abel because nobody loved America more than Rev. Moon and the Unification Church. They were both Abel, internally and externally, and two were united with each other. So, on top of that, Father was taking Fraser and Carter. God has to take Father’s side and chop the neck off Carter and chop the neck off Fraser. Nobody believed that was possible but the result is already fact. We already saw, one year ago, that that Principle really works. How can Father single handed chop off the Presidents neck? Because we have Principle, God can do that. Father already told them many, many, times, even before Carter was chopped off, so everybody believes that now.

So, who is the centre, the one who loves God the most? The one who suffers most for the country and for God, he is the centre, he is Abel. Who is the centre of the Unification Church? The one who sacrifices himself most, he is the centre of the Unification Church, he is our main line, do you understand? Father gets up most early in the morning and goes to bed very late. Why? If Father does that, then he is Abel. It is guaranteed. It is assured. So the one who goes to sleep late is Abel and the one who gets up earliest is Abel, so to become Abel, what must you do? Suffer. But to suffer, you become Abel, so its better to become Abel. So are you going to love each other dearly? Or are you going to love each other dearly but with the world between you and loving each other dearly? Which one are you going to do? Because the world gets in between you and your fiance or you and your wife, it is not so easy to love each other. You will struggle very much. By the time you have struggled for ten years, you will find yourself on the top of the north pole. Since you try to meet each other and the world is in your way, you go round and round and even- tually you reach the north pole. The north pole is your meeting place, nothing between you, do you understand? Which would you do? Would you say, well, I’ll forget about the north pole, I’ll just love my wife, that’s alright with me. Would you do that? Would you like to get to the north pole? So the man goes to one pole and the woman goes to the other pole and they work very hard, they say, let’s work for three years and let’s see what happens. At the end of three years, you meet at the north pole. Do you want to do that or do you want to love each other and forget about everything else? Oh Father, you win again. We thought that the Blessing was something different, but now your conclusion is just the same - work hard. Father, you have a way of making us work. If you think that way, fine, but on top of that you know the Principle. Why? Well, that’s exactly the way that Father did. If Father lost anything by doing that, Father could not say, you do the same thing, but no, Father gained everything, that’s why Father can say, you do the same as I did - it works. That’s what Father is telling you now. Do you understand? So starting from this moment, now that you are blessed and about to be married, forget about everything, drink, enjoy yourself, dancing, singing, sleep late, everything. Amen. Yes or no? (No!) So are we going to get up early in the morning and go

to sleep late at night, are we going to do that? (Yes!) Actually, you two sleep in bed but one of you wakes up first in the morning. If he’s one minute late, he’s Cain, so he wants to get up early in the morning, one minute makes all the difference. One bathroom but two people, both man and wife have an urgent situation, but the one who goes to the bathroom last, sacrificing him or herself, that person is Abel. The one who jumps into the bathroom, that’s Cain. You’re very thirsty, you have really sweated a lot, it’s a hot day. Now you came back to your home - there’s a glass of water - one glass and a bottle of water. If you want to drink first, then you’re Cain. If there is a narrow street, so two people are walking towards one another in the middle. All of a sudden you get out of the way and you say ‘please pass’. Why would you do that? So he passes, ‘thank you’, he says and he passes. So he is Cain and you are Abel. It’s as simple as that That always works. In this western world, the people wear neck ties, the one who wears a neck tie is Abel, the one who does not wear a neck tie is Cain, so mother says to Father, think about your position, put on your neck tie. Father says no - the one who does not wear a neck tie is Abel and the one who wears a neck tie is Cain. That’s what Father is saying to everyone.

So one day Father went to the shoe store - Father didn’t go by himself, Father brought a lot of members to buy suits and shoes, so Father found a bargain - $140 shoes renuced to $18 - so Father was happy, Father bought them and Father thought to himself, well, if one man is wearing $100 shoes and the second is wearing $18 shoes, the one who is wearing $18 shoes is Abel, do you understand? There are two men sleeping, one is sleeping on his back, arms spread out, snoring, that’s Cain. The one who sleeps sideways taking less space, that’s Abel, but one who sleeps like a shrimp is more Abel, he doesn’t complain about a bed, but is really thankful to God for the night’s sleep, even though he slept like that, so wherever Father goes, Father doesn’t care so much about western custom. There’s a perfectly good chair, but Father sits down on the carpet - it is more comfortable, so Father feels, well, the one who sits on the floor is Abel, the one who sits on the chair is Cain. Some people wipe the chair before they sit down, other people just sit, dirty or not. They are Abel and the one who wipes the seat before he sits down, that’s Cain. This is not Father’s decision, that’s the normal Principle way. Do you understand? Father is drinking a glass of water - so at this moment Father is Cain, but Father knows that you are enjoying watching Father drink so Father is doing you a service, but if Father sweats more than he drinks, then he again becomes Abel. So every minute, it’s a fierce battle between Cain and Abel, so through this one Principle the world will be decided.

God is still feverishly trying to find the way to somewhere. Where? He’s trying to find Cain’s position, isn’t he? He’s really trying to find Cain and look after Cain, isn’t that right? No! What he’s looking for is Abel, so wherever you have been struggling in the suffering position, you stay there suffering then God comes around because what he is looking for is Abel. Do you understand? So as soon as Father went to America 10 years ago, many years ago, what Father did first was that Father drove around America, day in and day out for 50 days. From early in the morning until night, all the time, eat three meals a day in the car, sleep in the car. Why? Father wanted to establish that Father loved America more than anybody else, so he went around like that. it takes only 3 days to cross America, so Father, every three days come, every three days go, so Father did many trips around America, visited everywhere, prayed to want to love America the most. Do you understand?

Now that you are married, are you going to live with a Cain wife or with an Abel wife? Are ycu going to live with a Cain husband or an Abel husband, which one? (Abel!) Abel lives like a crazy man, do you like a crazy man? I want to become Abel. He is crazy because he is living Abel’s life. He is not only crazy on a family level but crazy on a world level, because he is a world Abel. That is a fantastic truth. So you know so clearly, you don’t have to be intelligent to understand, it is so simple, you have no excuse for not doing it. Well, if you have two people and you have one piece of bread, you have to split it and each one has to have one piece. Are you going to give the bigger one to the other person, or are you going to keep the bigger one to yourself. (Give bigger piece to the other!) Satan is never satisfied until he gets a bigger one - he always gives the small one, so when you centre around yourself, you know, oh, I am Cain now but next time I will be Abel, you have to clearly distinguish that, so you should not excuse your- self.

One thing, after you are matched and you go out for three years of wit- nessing, three years of fundraising, whatever, don’t think about your wife, don’t think about your husband, don’t think about them, you don’t have to write to them and you see what happens. Even though you don’t write to them, even though you don’t pray for them, God will protect her perfectly. She will never get into an accident, she will never hurt herself, she will never get sick, even though you don’t say hello, even once a year, God will protect her in your place. He says where is my fiance? Oh, he must be like usual today, must have gotten up first thing in the morning and been the latest to go to bed, he must be sleeping shrimp sleep now. Amen. He would say. Don’t worry about it because God is with him. He is better off than you are, so don’t worry. Do you under- stand or don’t you understand? But tell the truth - is it easy or difficult to become Abel’s family, or Abel’s position. It’s so difficult, even Satan doesn’t want to do it - that’s why Satan says - oh, I’m not going to be crazy, so as soon as Satan leaves then you are free, nobody accuses you.

In the early times of America Father went around the cities to speak to crusaders, then Father was about to speak about Divine Principle. But the existing church members - catholics and protestants, they said Rev. Moon is Satan. Then Father immediately thought ‘oh, that’s Cain, that’s a real true Cain and if he is Cain, then who is Abel? It’s me, who is called Satan.’ He felt good so he laughed because he is Abel. Cain just said that, he is Abel. So the audience would be very serious, they tried to decide quickly - ‘oh, who is Abel, who is Cain, who is real Satan, who is not Satan’. So now Father could not speak, the audience was very serious in order to decide, so Father said OK, I will sing a song, so Father sang a song. While Father sang a song they have time to decide, ‘oh, he is Abel - that guy there is Cain’. So, after that Father could speak and everybody listened so well. So if Father speaks right after singing, then he stops speaking and sings, and then he starts speaking again, he is getting more and more Abel. So has anybody thought, if Father sang now he would be more Abel, has anybody thought that way? (Yes!) So does anybody want Father to be more Abel now. (Yes!) But you have to remember one thing, Father gave you matching, didn’t he? Father gave you the feast of works didn’t he? Father is now giving you the feast of words. If Father sings to you now, then all the blessings that are gathered there, Father has to carry the blessing bag on his back and go away. Why? Because blessing always follows Abel. Blessing doesn’t follow Cain, so if Father sings now and then Father goes out, then all the blessing will follow Father. Then what do you have? Nothing. So in order for Father to give you the blessing

Father has to make you Abel, right? So what must you do to become Abel? (Sing!) That’s why you must sing. So now the best German and European members should want to entertain Father, the one who sings the worst, is he Abel, or the one who sings the best? (Best!) Ok, best is Abel. So you select yourselves, find the best Abel in singing, one man and one woman, one boy, one girl. All you need to know is what Father told you - that simple Principle, it always works, it’s serious, but Father gave you in a humorous way. But seriously, this Principle always works. So after you sing, then that’s the end of Father’s talk. Now Father wants to relax and listen to your great singing. Who wants to come out and sing? The best.

An Italian sister and Michael Waldermeier from German sing. Father continues:

From the early Adam and Eve time, Adam and Eve were already engaged. God had in mind that when they grow up they will get married, so from childhood they were engaged. But you have never been engaged, you met for the first time yesterday, so True Parents must give you a ceremony. Now you are going to be engaged and after a few years you will be married. Father has to make that announcement. So that’s the ceremony that we are going to do. Please all stand up and line up.

The engagement and holy wine ceremony then takes place. Followed by the cutting of the cake. Father speaks briefly:

Father congratulates you. So Father might leave here after this and go back to where he has come from, so he might not be able to see you any more. So you must remember that the way to move Europe is in your hands now. As you know the leaders in Europe have been to 120 days training and they came back yesterday and after a brief conference Father will give them full instructions. So, so far, we can hardly call what we did tradition, but from this time on, we must establish a new tradition. This will be a new turning point. One thing you must remember again - please translate that to everyone - that from this time on, do not discuss about Father and where he is, or what he is doing now. Don’t ask, don’t talk about where he is or what he is doing. Make it a habit not to discuss that among members because communists are afraid. If there’s anyone who hates communists and that is of course we Unification Church members and Father, so they hate Father so much, so Father asks you, please work hard and Father will do Father’s work, so do not call other members and say, ‘do you know where Father is?’ Don’t say that. So you must bear in mind, from this time on, what you do will become tradition in Europe, so always think in a responsible way in what you do - we must from this time on and within the next two or three years establish a new tradition in Europe. Until now we had no tradition in Europe. You are the forefront and you must run. You don’t need any leader. You know as much as your leader knows. Do you understand? Those who pledge they will do that, raise both hands. Actually Father is busy, he has his own schedule. So Father is now doing something that you and other people will learn later on, they will be surprised. Father is working for that goal so Father will do his work, so you do your work and while you do your work, let God be with you always. God bless you.
